Default Rohana RFX11 WTB

I want to post this so we as consumers can convince Rohana to offer this wheel in C6Z sizes. This is an awesome looking wheel that they produce in a 19/20 setup in the correct widths but the offsets are too large. Hopefully there are others that would also be interested. Let me know what you think.

Hey guys, would these wheels fit with proper offset on a 2015 base stingray vert,
https://www.ebay.com/itm/19-ROHANA-R...-/292808922218

Offsets always confuse me with making the wheels and tires fit right.
Thanks
Jon

I don't know about C7 but you would need 20-22mm spacers all around for them to fit C6Z. Spacers that big sacrifice a lot of the the deep dish potential of these wheels.

Stance makes a wheel that is extremely similar in C6 Z offsets with a 19/20 set up. Check these out https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-c7-z06-3.html

Thanks for that link. You are right they are extremely similar but I like the Rohanas better.

so does signature wheels SV107 I believe there called they will be much less expensive as I have quote out a set of Rohana wheels and they were over 5k

That doesn't sound right. 20/19 set of Rohanas in the incorrect offsets are around $2200 for the set.

Wanted to bump this, I love this style wheel for my SLC but definitely would need it in C6Z offsets. I'd also like to know how we can make this happen!

FYI - I have given up on waiting for Rohana to come around. Decided to go with BC Forged RS41s. Almost double the cost but beautiful and the right size.

Kinda figured Rohana wouldn't listen, their loss. Funny you say BC, I am on the site now looking around.

i really struggled between silver and brushed black. i think i should have gone with silver. they would have popped more and the brushed black looks bronze in a lot of different lighting conditions up in the pacific northwest.

I'm exactly the same way. I really like the brushed black to be subtle, but after dipping my Forgestar F14's bright silver (were satin bronze) and really digging the look I'm leaning towards brushed clear. Thank you very much for the honest feedback on how the brushed black looks bronze in different lighting as it doesn't go very well with the gray (Grigio Telesto) of the SLC.

Thank you, I will mark brushed black off my list!

19x10 +27mm (+24 might be even better because i'm running `0.9 deg camber in front)
20x12.5 +50mm

not sure yet. considering the 1" drop and the +1 wheel sizes the car is not overly harsh. harsher than stock for sure but acceptable. current settings are 8/30 all around for damping. i'm going to dial the fronts up to 15 and try that. car feels a little too floaty for my taste. i don't want to increase the rear because it will be too harsh. tried 15 all around and didn't like it. hoping this will reduce floatiness w/o adding much additional harshness. ideal setup would be really good damping w/o harshness but not sure if that is possible with my suspension geometry and wheel size.
